Finished 30 Hip Hop Albums in 30 Days

During the period starting on April 22nd, I listened to one album per day from the list I made. Here’s a look at my experience.

I planned to listen to UGK’s Ridin’ Dirty but it wasn’t available so this is the only album I didn’t get to listen to.

I listened to other albums not on the list so it’s actually more than 30 albums

Many of the albums were West Coast albums so I presume the source where I got more of the recommendations was probably from the West Coast. I would have loved to listen to a bit more New York boom bap from that era but I still enjoyed all the G-Funk and Gangsta rap from Cali’ 1996.

My favorite album to listen to from the list was Foesum’s Perfection. It’s definitely one of the finest G-Funk albums I’ve heard.

Other surprising favorites – E-40’s The Hall of Game and Young Lay’s Black N’ Dangerous which both contain tracks with 2Pac that I hadn’t heard.

I couldn’t really get into Too Short’s Gettin’ It.

Since I finished that 30 day challenge, I would like to continue by making another 30 albums that I want to listen to. Here’s the new list and this time I mixed it up into some random categories.
